Tracy is autistic. She is 13 years old and her life is a journey. A journey to grow, a journey to progress, a journey to be loved as she is…just like everyone else.
Children’s voices are rarely heard amid the complexity of modern medicine. That’s why every story in the My Life Beyond series stems from the imagination and experience of a Mayo Clinic patient. The books were developed through collaboration between these patients, Mayo Clinic physicians and author-illustrator Hey Gee. Through this unique lens of inspiring real-life experiences, the series explores how children view illness,
challenges and recovery.
